Long-term outcome of cemented total hip arthroplasty with the Charnley-type femoral stem made of titanium alloy

摘要

Background: Total hip arthroplasty is a successful treatment for hip diseases including osteoarthritis, osteonecrosis of the femoral head, and rheumatoid arthritis. Various designs of cemented femoral stems made of stainless steel and titanium alloy have been used. Among them, Charnley-type femoral stems made of stainless steel have often been reported to have good long-term outcome. However, the long-term outcome of the Charnley-type femoral stem made of Ti alloy is yet to be reported. We conducted a retrospective study to assess the long-term outcome of cemented primary total hip arthroplasty with the Charnley-type femoral stem made of Ti alloy.
